Bunnings Matador & Jumbuck BBQ’s – We do not sell, service or convert Bunnings Matador / Jumbuck BBQs

Had a few calls recently about parts and conversions of Bunnings Matador and Jumbuck BBQ’s we do not sell these or any other brand of BBQ however we do write articles about certain other brands and we road test some too.

Jumbuck 4 Burner Portland Hooded Gas BBQ
Matador Spark 4 Burner Gas BBQ

    

BUNNINGS BBQ’s in the Matador / Jumbuck name are only available through Bunnings, as far as we are aware only certain BBQs in the Matador range are approved for conversion to Natural Gas and NO Jumbuck brand is.( Although getting a kit or finding someone to convert them may be difficult and make sure you use a licensed and qualified Gas Fitter). We also suggest that you talk to staff and think carefully about buying any bbq from any retailer and make sure it is what you want and it does what you want it to…

Remember Bunnings sell lots of things and may not be an expert on BBQ’s, so if you have a specific question in mind it is best to go to a BBQ retailer like Barbeques Galore who may be able to help you better..
